Kareem Hunt Free Agent Fits: Bengals, Ravens, Broncos

2022 was not the contract year Kareem Hunt expected to have.

However, the team didn’t yield, and Hunt came back to soldier out the season.It ended up being th...

2022 was not the contract year Kareem Hunt expected to have. When Cleveland showed no interest in engaging with him on extension talks, Hunt requested a trade and held himself out of practice for a bit in training camp. However, the team didn’t yield, and Hunt came back to soldier out the season.

It ended up being the worst season of his career. He played all 17 games, so if he was hurt it wasn’t enough to sideline him. But Hunt didn’t look as explosive as he used to. He was never fast but he was always a violent runner with an ability to break tackles and generate more yards after contact. In 2022, he looked more like a plodder. He’s only 27, but running back is a position where the cliff can come early and fast.

That could explain why he’s still unsigned, as Hunt was one of the bigger names even in a deep free-agent class for running backs. At this point, he’ll probably have to wait until after the draft to find work, as most teams will prefer to plug a cheap rookie running back in rather than pay a declining veteran if they can avoid it.

Hunt, 27, is a former third-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2017. He was in the second year of his four-year, $3.263-million contract and set to make base salaries of $555,000 and $645,000 over the next two years of the agreement when the Chiefs waived him in December following video of him kicking a woman.

The Browns elected to sign Hunt to a one-year contract worth over $1 million, not factoring in a suspension. Hunt forfeited $303,529 of his $645,000 base salary with his eight-game suspension, with a chance to earn $200,000 in per-game roster bonuses upon return.

Hunt re-signed with Cleveland as a restricted free agent heading into 2020. He was set to make $3.27 million under the second-round tender before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2021 when he signed a two-year, $13.5 million extension before the start of the season.

Hunt is an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

In 2022, Hunt appeared in all 17 games for the Browns and rushed for 468 yards on 123 carries (3.8 YPC) to go along with 35 receptions for 210 yards receiving and four total touchdowns.

We have him included in our Top 100 Available 2023 NFL Free Agents list.

Assuming Hunt isn’t completely washed, his all-purpose skill set would fit in nicely with a team like the Bengals, which needs a third-down back to replace Samaje Perine. For Hunt, he could stay in his home state of Ohio and play for a contending team, which would be two important boxes for him to tick.

If the Bengals aren’t an option, the Broncos are a team to keep in mind. They were rumored to have interest in Hunt at one point, although they’ve since signed Perine.

New HC Sean Payton loves using multiple running backs, and the team will need depth as Broncos RB Javonte Williams returns from a severe, multi-ligament knee injury. If they don’t bring back Latavius Murray, Hunt could be an option for Denver.

The Ravens would also be an interesting team to consider. They’re familiar with his game as AFC North rivals, and while they already have J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards, nearly any place Hunt would sign with this offseason has a crowded depth chart at this point.

There’s a lot of talent league-wide at running back. Baltimore could add Hunt as injury insurance for both Edwards and Dobbins, who didn’t bounce back from major knee injuries as well as the team might have hoped.

Murray scores 34, Nuggets beat Suns 125-107 in Game 1

DENVER -- — Jamal Murray kept imploring the crowd to get louder and louder with each trip down the floor.

As if the Nuggets point guard even needed to. His play was already rocking the arena.

Murray scored 34 points, hitting six of Denver's 16 3-pointers, and the Nuggets sprinted past the Phoenix Suns 125-107 on Saturday night in Game 1 of their second-round series.

"He’s a bad man,” Nuggets coach Michael Malone said.

Any response to that adulation?

“Thanks?” Murray said. “Appreciate it. ... I’m just playing my game. ... I’m doing whatever it takes to win."

And maybe show a nation that doesn't always get to watch the Nuggets — you know, because they're usually on so late — what the players have known all season: They're talented and worthy of their top seed in the Western Conference. They don't mind if the Suns, as the fourth seed, are the trendy pick to beat them, either.

“We’re going to keep doing what we’re doing, keep proving everybody wrong," Murray said.

Reigning back-to-back NBA MVP Nikola Jokic had 24 points and 19 rebounds, while Aaron Gordon finished with 23 points. But this was the Murray Show, where he went 6 of 10 from 3-point land and frequently exhorted for more noise from the already raucous crowd.

“Let’s be honest, some of the shots he hit tonight I don’t think anybody could have stopped him,” Suns coach Monty Williams said.

Kevin Durant scored 29 points and grabbed 14 boards for the Suns, with Devin Booker adding 27 points and Chris Paul 11. Booker averaged 37.2 points in a first-round series win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

"I thought that they were just more physical, played with more force,” Williams said. “We’ve got to regroup and do a much better job of playing with pace on offense.”

Game 2 is Monday night in Denver.

This is a different sort of playoff series than two years ago, when the Suns swept the Nuggets in the second round. Back then, Denver was without Murray after he tore his ACL.

Now healthy, Murray is flashing his 2020 form inside the NBA bubble that helped Denver advance to the Western Conference finals.

“Jamal just continues to add to the legend of playoff Jamal,” Malone said.

Murray had the play of the night when he stole a pass, split defenders Paul and Durant at top speed and knocked in a layup high off the glass. It brought the capacity crowd to its feet.

The dynamic point guard was far from done energizing the fans, hitting a 3-pointer with just under 7 minutes remaining. He implored them for more noise, even holding a hand to his ear.

Leading 106-95 with 7:40 remaining, the Nuggets went on a 14-0 run to put away the game. Denver led by as much as 25 and improved to 38-7 at home through the regular season and playoffs.

Durant cut off a question about whether he was surprised by the Nuggets.

Because he's not.

“They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason. They got a two-time MVP. They've got a deep team. I’m not surprised,” Durant said. “We've got our work cut out for us.”

The difference was the 3-point line, where the Nuggets outscored the Suns by a 48-21 margin. That and turnovers, where the Suns had 16, including seven by Durant.

“I’ve got to be way more careful with the ball,” Durant said. "I've to look to either shoot the ball or make the correct pass. ... I dang got near half our turnovers. We’ll be fine. I think we've just got to play with confidence, shoot with confidence and see what happens next game.”

TIP-INS

Suns: Williams used his challenge early — with 55.4 seconds left in the first quarter — when Booker was called for a charge on a made a basket. It paid off as the call was overturned and Booker awarded a free throw, which he made. ... Deandre Ayton scored 14 points. ... Durant has 4,730 playoff points to move closer to passing Karl Malone (4,761) seventh place on the NBA’s postseason points leaderboard.

Nuggets: Malone called a timeout 32 seconds into the second half to settle his team down. Malone said the conversation was simple: “Wake up,” he recounted. ... Bruce Brown had 14 points.

PAUL PRAISE

As Paul approaches his 38th birthday next week, Malone said the one thing that hasn't changed over the years is Paul's elite competitiveness.

“He’ll be 55 years old, playing in a rec league back in North Carolina, and he’s going to be the same guy,” Malone said. “The guy hates to lose, ultra-competitive and one of the greatest leaders I’ve ever been around. ... No matter what stage of his career, he still finds a way to impact winning at a high level.”

DENVER (KDVR) — Piccolo Italian and Mexican restaurant has been open for over five decades. However, on Sunday, the restaurant will close for good.

Piccolo announced in a message last month that the restaurant’s last day would be April 30.

Here is a goodbye note Piccolo posted on its website:

From our first day in business we have been committed to providing great food and great service at a great price. Throughout those years so many of you have become dear friends, loved ones, and supporters of Piccolo. It’s because of you we have been able to hold to that commitment and achieve our dream of being a neighborhood staple. There will never be enough words to thank you for that.

It is with heavy hearts we have made the impossibly difficult decision to let Piccolo go. The years of great memories made will remain forever, but our time in southeast Denver has come to an end. This decision is not made hastily. Our staff’s wellbeing and our commitment to a quality experience will remain our priority in these last weeks.

There doesn’t seem to be adequate words to sum up how we are feeling right now. If we tried, this statement would likely go on forever. So, for now, we will just say Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for being our support, our friends, our family.

Our finale will be Sunday, April 30th, so come on in and share your favorite Piccolo memories with us! For the time being, our hours will remain as they are now, and any updates or changes will be published to our website and posted on our Facebook page. Unused gift cards will be redeemable until closing day or can be brought in to the restaurant to be bought out.

So, for now, we’ll be seeing you.

The Piccolo Team

Hours

Piccolo is expected to be open from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Social media shares messages

Many fans of Piccolo posted memories and messages on the restaurant’s Facebook page.

“50 years of memories. Love everyone on the staff. Thank you, thank, you, thank you for all the wonderful years. You will be missed,” Sharon said on Facebook.

“Spent my childhood and half my adulthood eating here. Best Italian in the Denver metro area. We had many celebrations and memories there. Sad to see you guys go. Wish you all the best,” Amy shared on Facebook.

“Sending so much love to you and your family. Thank you for all the memories. My family has been going there for literally my whole life! You gave me a job in high school, helped me come out of my shell while bussing tables and I even found my prom date there!” Nicole shared on Facebook.

“This is very sad news. I enjoyed working there over 30 plus years ago. The Canino Family was a great family to work for and I have fond memories of working there. Thank you for the memories,” Tammy shared on Facebook.

If you have memories or experiences you would like to share about Piccolo, the restaurant said you can email them to piccolo.reservation@gmail.com or post them on the Piccolo Facebook page.

NFL Draft: Here's every player the Seahawks ended up getting in the Russell Wilson trade

Few trades in recent NFL history have immediately worked out like the Russell Wilson trade has for the Seattle Seahawks, who shipped away their franchise quarterback for a bounty of draft picks and ...

Few trades in recent NFL history have immediately worked out like the Russell Wilson trade has for the Seattle Seahawks, who shipped away their franchise quarterback for a bounty of draft picks and somehow ended up getting better.

The final pick from that trade was made on Friday in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft when the Seahawks selected Auburn linebacker Derick Hall at 37th overall.

Given Wilson's significant step back in play last season, which saw head coach Nathaniel Hackett get fired after less than one full season, the Seahawks were already sitting pretty. Geno Smith, since signed to a big-time extension, turned out to be a perfect replacement for Wilson and led Seattle to a 9-8 record and playoff berth, while the Broncos went 5-12.

For posterity's sake, though, it helps to look at just how much Denver ended up giving up for Wilson.

The full Seahawks-Broncos Russell Wilson trade

Broncos get:

Seahawks get:

Some of those players are obviously more valuable than others. Lock didn't see a single snap last season after losing the quarterback battle to Smith and falling to backup duty, while Harris posted two sacks and has since hit free agency.

Fant was basically what he was in Denver, a somewhat disappointing former first-round pick who posted 486 receiving yards in his first season with Seattle.

Cross was fine as a rookie, starting all 17 games and finishing 54th among 81 offensive tackles in Pro Football Focus' rankings. Still only 22 years old, he has plenty of time to get better. Mafe had 41 combined tackles and three sacks.

Witherspoon might end up being the best player of the entire group, as he is entering Seattle with plenty of hype as the top cornerback in his class and a possible heir to the Legion of Boom legacy.

Of course, the punch line here is that all of these players could wash out of the NFL within a few years and the trade still would have been worth it for the Seahawks, simply by virtue of avoiding paying Wilson the monster five-year, $245 million contract he signed with the Broncos after the trade. That deal is already looking like one of the worst contracts in NFL history.

Getting all those players is still nice, though. The Seahawks also added Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba with their natural first-rounder at 19th overall.

Jokic vs. Durant, Murray vs. Booker: Here's everything you need to know about Suns-Nuggets

Perhaps the lowest point of the Nikola Jokic era -- and low is a relative term amid sustained high-level success -- came two postseasons ago in this same round against this same opponent: With the short-handed Nuggets down 3-0 against the Phoenix Suns and bleeding points, Jokic, frustrated at a non-call, wound up and swung hard to dislodge t...

Perhaps the lowest point of the Nikola Jokic era -- and low is a relative term amid sustained high-level success -- came two postseasons ago in this same round against this same opponent: With the short-handed Nuggets down 3-0 against the Phoenix Suns and bleeding points, Jokic, frustrated at a non-call, wound up and swung hard to dislodge the ball from Cameron Payne -- making contact across Payne's face.

Devin Booker confronted Jokic. They went nose-to-nose. Referees assessed Jokic a flagrant foul 2, and ejected him. The Nuggets' season -- a gutsy trudge to the conference semifinals without Jamal Murray and other rotation players -- was over.

The two teams meet again in the same round, but with greater stakes and star power. The Suns came two wins short of the title in 2021, then flamed out in this round against the Dallas Mavericks in 2022 after winning 64 games. This season, they exchanged an ascendent potential All-Star in Mikal Bridges and other key pieces to pair Kevin Durant with Booker, Chris Paul, and Deandre Ayton.

This is Denver's fourth conference semifinals appearance in five seasons; it has won five playoff series in that span. Sneeze at that if you'd like, but keep in mind the Clippers and Brooklyn Nets have won four series combined in four seasons after their respective offseason splashes in 2019. The Nuggets have reached further than this with Jokic once -- in 2020, when they lost in the conference finals. This is their best team of the Jokic era.

It's tempting to frame this series as team continuity against a quick-fix superstar conglomerate, and there is some truth in that. Murray and Jokic have more shared sweat equity than any major pairing here. On the flip side, the Paul-Booker-Ayton trio has logged substantially more minutes than the Murray-Jokic-Aaron Gordon-Michael Porter Jr. quartet -- largely due to injuries.

There is almost no relevant film to go on. Durant and Jokic have not played against each other since May 2021.
